Boss, why did the herds think it would be a tense 0-0 affair?

Is it? Under another clone here i had picked Spain to win but some kotek conveniently chose to not highlight it while he did not make any predictions himself.

Spain 2-0 liao, difficult for Italy to come back.
Italy too open in the middle and too adventurous.
Spain upped their tempo because of all the criticism from the press and SBF, hahaha.
Now hoping for high scoring game.........................

Yes the Azurri are in attacking mode now but it depends on Casillas's heriocs to prevent a high scoring game. I am disappointed with Buffon though but this proved that Germany performance was poor and Joachim's squad selection for the SF was bad.

Spain is 2-0 up, imho, they will drop their offensive approach and revert to defensive holding ball mode.

yes, he took the risk to bring on Reus but he did not take down Schweinsteiger who was underperformed.
weird tho.

Buffoon (hahaha) can't be blamed for either goal. Point blank header from Silva and good finish by Alba.
Casillas has looked a little shaky with high balls, can expect some mistakes in the second half.
Joachim's main selection problem was Kroos, who doesn't even play on the wing for his club.
It is Muller who can play both positions. But at HT, he kept Kroos on just to justify his own original selection...................

dunno bro...i think Spain will press still to pressure italy.

Spain is 2-0 up, imho, they will drop their offensive approach and revert to defensive holding ball mode.

Tiki Tika, pass forward, sideways, back, sideways, back, forward a little, back............................
Italy have to get at them to save themselves. Maybe they can u know................

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

It looks like its all over for the Azurri. Balotelli looks ordinary, Pirlo has been shut down by Spain's midfield
They are chasing shadows all over the pitch.

Barring a miracle, Spain will win their third major tournament in a roll.
In a nutshell, Spain are doing to Italy what Italy did to Germany.

Leaving Schweinsteiger out will be worse for Joachim as he is the favorite with the big wigs.

imho, maybe Spain will go for the killing 3rd goal.
tonight, Italy defense go sleeping and its not Balotelli game.

Italy why not another attacker? haizzz

 

[jw5]

This is one of the most exciting games of the euro 2012 and it's the final.
Rene must be pulling out what little hair he has left.

Spain should have had a penalty, Di Natale missed one on one.........................

 

[zeddy]

I placed $500 before the tournament begins betting on Italy to win the Euros..

Can see that $500 flying away now.. :( :(

 

[no_faith]

Will Spain humiliate 10 men Italy? or they will give them face and end with 2-0?
